This is a piece where the description barely does justice to the object: every element has been thought through and executed with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand as a motif in jewellery carries multiple associations — the hand of friendship, the hand of faith, the hand of the giver. Here it holds a basket of pearls — purity, generosity, abundance — the ruby paste adding warmth and colour to the white of the paste and pearl. The two bangles on the wrist are a detail of particular refinement, giving the hand a specificity and humanity that a plain hand would lack.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere is a minor chip to a single paste ruby in the lower central row, visible only on close inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf Continental origin, in the Art Deco manner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Art Deco, c.1920\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHallmarks:\u003cbr\u003e\nTests as 9ct gold with 800 silver.
